Noah's Big Fishing Adventure

Noah got the invite for a fishing adventure on his Uncle Greg's boat. He did a great job hanging with the big boys. Catching over 15 fish, he reeled in 4 at once. He got most of his fish on bloodworms but jigged up a few as well. He even tried his hand reeling in some soft plastics and topwater lures. It was a great trip for the big boys as well as they landed their first live-lined striper (16 inches) and Matt landed his first several fish on topwater.

DNR Report: Stargazing

What is this fish? A Stargazer.


Type: Ocean

Region: Eastern

Location: Bayside at Ocean City





While fishing with my friend captain Matt on HAPPY OURS and his father-in-law this past Sunday I caught this fish. It hit on a spot and at first I thought I was snagged. We were drifting and I thought it might be a fish when the drag starting going faster then the drift. Wonderful feeling! I have no clue what it is? We were bayside at Ocean City. It was a great day of fishing and while no keepers we landed some flounder, different types of crabs, some spot we ended up live lining, some small fish that may have been ocean perch.



DNR Response: It is a stargazer. The fish is unique. It is called a stargazer because its eyes are on top of its head and look skyward. It supposedly has electrical capabilities and can shock you if you put your hand right between its eyes, although I have never witnessed this first hand. They are common In the bay and near shore waters.

Adventure on Horseshoe Crab Island

Here are some pictures of Noah with the first flounder he ever reeled in. We later stopped for a side trip adventure to a small sandy cove that Noah appropriately named Horseshoe Crab Island.
